It’s no secret we’re fans of Mazda’s MX-5 Miata, so you can bet that we’ve been eagerly following the gestation of the fourth generation of the affordable sports car, looking for any little bit of news. Well, after passing the time by publishing our latest intel on the new roadster, meticulously breaking down the car’s chassis (which Mazda previewed at this year’s New York auto show), and celebrating the Miata’s 25th anniversary, we finally have fresh fodder: The 2016 Miata will debut on September 3. There will be simultaneous events in the U.S. (in Monterey, California), Barcelona, and Japan.

Okay, so knowing when the sheets will be pulled off of the latest Miata isn’t exactly earth-stopping news, but it finally attaches a timeline to our collective anticipation. Following Mazda’s naming convention for the first three Miata generations—the first-gen was referred to as the NA, the second-gen was called NB, and so on—the 2016 model is expected to be code-named ND.

Like every recent Mazda, the new Miata will receive the brand’s full complement of Skyactiv fuel-saving lightweighting and engine technologies, and its underlying platform will be used as the basis for a Fiat sports car. Powertrain specifics have yet to be revealed—we’re expecting four-cylinder engines and six-speed manual and automatic transmissions—but Mazda has released a teaser video of an unseen Miata tearing up a canyon, and it sounds good. Speaking of sounds, is that a turbo blowoff valve we hear tripping on one or two of those upshifts, or just wind noise? (We’ve speculated that the next Miata could go turbo, after all.) Check it out for yourself below, and let’s just say we can’t wait until September.
